Two ***

The shallow depth of my life prevents me from deeply empathizing with some of the experiences of the people in the book, but after reading each story, I will feel a chill of sadness in my heart. The same feeling also appeared when I heard about some of the difficulties that my grandmother and mother had faced. I am confused and not struggling at the moment, so I dare not look at my future. I am afraid that I will go through a similar mental journey in the future. I don't know at what moment the boomerang of emotions will fly back to me, and whether I will have enough energy to face it when I really face it. Each story is very delicate. The protagonists seem to be shrouded in the haze of warm winter. They can't even feel the cold. However, in the slow suffocation, they turn everything they face into a pot of porridge and swallow it whole...

I was really breathless after reading the last one. How heartbroken would we be if the heroine were our daughter? The heroine is devoted to Anqing just because he was kind to her in the early stage (can't even say he was kind, just to trick her into sleeping with her). Girls who have never received love are easily deceived by people's pretense of love. If we have a daughter in the future, we must give her a lot of love, but in my case For me, I am still just a student, and my parents love me, but since I was a child, they have been busy with work and often can't take care of me. If the opposite sex pretends to me that I have never felt good, it is hard to say whether I will fall into it. I can only say that I am always alert and careful every step of the way.

Sichuan pepper appears in our lives as a daily seasoning, and the author conveys the meaning of life to us from the title of the book. The original taste of bitterness, only by mastering the steering wheel, can it become a good match for a delicious banquet, otherwise Sichuan peppercorns will no longer be Sichuan peppercorns. Life is scattered and scattered, with ups and downs, mostly just bits and pieces covered with chicken feathers. The "Manman" near the end of the book is regrettable. Life is a process of harmonious and harmonious progress with self-struggle. This process can only be completed independently, otherwise it will become a lifelong storm. Remind young girls not to try to hand over their destiny to others. Regardless of gender or ability, we should all grow into our own big trees. No matter what happens, rain is temporary, and there are countless windy and sunny days in life waiting for you eagerly.

The writing is very delicate and the descriptions are spot-on. The four stories range from dull to wonderful, but they are all very close to daily life, focusing on ordinary middle-aged women. I can even see the shadow of my own mother in some passages. The author's postscript really made me feel her respect for women. I am also in my twenties. When I see middle-aged women on the street, I will look at them with arrogance like the author. Because youth gives us capital, so the young and frivolous people at the moment think that we will never become such mediocre people, but other There are not so many surprises and excitement in real life. Maybe it is just numbness day after day, and it will eventually become dull, just like the protagonist in the book who returns to the life of a housewife after being misdiagnosed, or encounters difficulties in the workplace and has no one to talk to. This is the most authentic portrayal of middle-aged women, and all we can do is respect.

I have to say, this is a great book. People always have to put shackles on themselves and swallow the keys, because of their own ignorance, they get into the cage or because of their own paranoia, they run all the way into the darkness. Two brothers, one is looking for the key to the shackles, the other is swallowing it Two pepper sisters spend their lives in prejudice. Retired at the age of 48, already over half a century old and ignorant of worldly affairs At the hunting scene, ignorance is trapped in the cage and grows like duckweed, with no roots and no boundaries. Each character has distinct characteristics, and the key that can unlock his own shackles is in his heart from beginning to end.

Every time I read a book or a story, I will put myself into the scene. I am a street sign that the protagonist passes every day, a tree, and a neighbor of the protagonist. Sometimes I even possess the protagonist, trying to change something through this body. In the end, the protagonist still makes his own choice, and I can only be perceived by myself. There was a time when I suspected that I had reached the level of misogyny. In fact, I did not show my love for men because of this. Finally one night, I was faced with things that I would later regret again and again. First, I kept blaming myself and cried bitterly for three hours in a room with no lights on. At that moment, I hated myself so much for being so iron-clad. We often have such thoughts when faced with the actions and experiences of some women, but if we look into the reasons behind them, it may be due to the environment, or the lack of family and education. At this time, what we feel is no longer just a single emotion. Since I entered college, I no longer read books as I did in the past. Social networking and online entertainment take up almost half of my life. I began to be unable to calm down and could not read longer texts. After graduating from my senior year of college, I became unemployed for a few months and fell into a quagmire of choices that my family and society considered a failure. So, I began to try to re-read some books and some texts. This also changed some of my thoughts to a certain extent, and I also drew strength from the words.

The stories in the book are like magic. I usually don't like to read this kind of articles, but they kept attracting me to read them. Each article tells a different story, which can also be said to be a tragedy, with a deep philosophical atmosphere. The ending of each article can be said to be just right. After reading each article, I will fall into memories and thinking. I always want to figure out something, but I can't figure anything out. Maybe it's because I am not married yet, have never encountered a dilemma, or have no last resort, but it has given me profound thoughts.

Marriage is the grave of life [crying] [crying] "I" come to the door, the useless brother, the crazy sister-in-law... Every story is so heavy... Manman was originally an innocent child, but was abandoned and "hidden" by her mother because of poor grades. From the moment Manman met Anqing, the story developed step by step in the direction I least wanted to see... (I really cried to death). The uncle is the shrewdest. He got three houses and "gifted" a son... How can a person be so sinister, even plotting against his own niece? In the end, Manman had to bear everything alone. She lost both herself and her son, which ruined her life [crying][crying][crying][crying] I felt really bad after reading it, and my mood was really heavy [crying][crying][crying]

I used to read literary works, but in the past few years I started reading online novels when my career and love were unsatisfactory. I especially like those powerful female protagonists, including strength, intelligence, appearance, and koi. I don't like reading these realistic literature anymore. If I escape from the world in those ethereal and nihilistic books, I can turn a blind eye to the real situation in front of me. It's good to write several articles. Each article will have some parts that resonate with me and make me feel that I am not an alien in this world.

The last chapter of the book, "Hunting Scene", is really suffocating. Everyone is trying to figure out Manman's plans, but Manman is the only one who is kept in the dark. Because Manman's intelligence was relatively low and her academic performance was poor, Manman's parents quarreled and even divorced. Her mother took Manman to remarry, but after the remarriage, Manman's mother sent Manman to Manman's uncle for the sake of a new family. This move undoubtedly sent Manman into an invisible abyss. In fact, Manman's mother clearly knew that Manman's uncle was not a serious person, but in order to get rid of Manman as a burden, she did not hesitate to send Manman to this man. In the process of watching my uncle get along with Manman, my definition of this uncle kept jumping between good and bad. Only later did I realize that this uncle was simply a scumbag and a scoundrel. His evilness made people angry and speechless. At some point, Manman became a pawn used by her uncle to obtain demolition funds. In order to obtain the demolition funds, her uncle designed a man from a lower-class society to approach Manman, who was under 18 years old. Manman, who was seriously lacking in love, was attracted by the superficial generosity of this lower-class man named An Qing. She was deceived just because An Qing was kind to her. Because Man Man was under 18 years old, An Qing even had good reasons not to marry Man Man but brought Man Man home and even made Man Man pregnant. However, Man Man always thought that she was An Qing's wife. Originally, Manman planned to abort the child because Anqing was inconsiderate to the pregnant Manman and even kicked and kicked her. However, Manman's uncle kept excusing Anqing and even threatened Manman with various reasons to prevent Manman from aborting the child. Later, he also made up the story that Anqing was killed because of murder. The reason for the arrest was that Manman hid at home and gave birth to the child. Manman's uncle took the child to settle down, and it turned out that the child was indeed the uncle's adopted son. This identity allowed Manman's uncle to get three houses obtained from the demolition, one for the grandmother, one for the uncle, and one for the adopted child. But in the end, Manman's uncle did not even let Manman's son go, and lied about Manman's child being lost by Manman's grandmother, because Manman's grandmother was sometimes insane, but Manman's child was actually sold by Manman's uncle. Finally, Manman realized everything and became bald in an instant. At the end, I really didn't imagine that there would be such a horrible, selfish, shameless bastard in the world. After taking advantage of Manman and Manman's son, he was still unwilling to give up. He actually sold Manman's son and squeezed all the value of Manman's son. Because as the child's guardian, he didn't want to pay for the child's future, so he sold the child early and he could sit back and relax. , Enjoying everything gained at the expense of Manman with peace of mind. This kind of person is really disgusting. After reading it, I was really shocked for a long time, because I never imagined that people could be so bad. At the same time, I was really sad for Manman. In her unloved life, there were countless times when the people and things she thought she had redeemed actually led her into the abyss. In the end, she fell into the abyss and fell into despair that she could not extricate herself from.

"Everyone has a history of suffering, and no one has the right to laugh at anyone." Just like what the book cover says, each of the four stories has its own suffering, but after experiencing the suffering, life will eventually become dull.

After reading the whole book, it triggered a lot of thoughts in me. After marriage, relationships become different. The husband and wife have no common topics. The name of husband and wife exists in name only. All the burden of the family falls on the wife. There is also the use of loved ones, the tragic fate of the girl, how much he treated the girl before he got it, the first night was the first and only time he held her and let her sit on his lap...

A good book. Every short story is about ordinary people's trivial matters in life. They are absurd and realistic, sad and helpless. Although you read every story in the book from the perspective of a bystander, you can find your stupid self in it. There is greatness in the ordinary, and humanity in the absurdity. It is a good book.

I stayed in bed this morning and finished reading the sixth book of the year, a collection of short stories. What shocked me the most was the hunting scene. In the end, the truth was revealed, and Manman grew old overnight. The author writes about the plight of the weak at the bottom, and also breaks through the filter that puts family love first. I feel the cruelty of those words, but I also know that in those corners of real life there are things that are a hundred times crueler than these words. In the collection, there is softness, true feelings, coldness and tragedy. There is no deliberate dramatic conflict, and the different lives of different people are written in plain writing. The significance of this book to me is that it not only allows me to see clearly the complexity and darkness of human nature, but also makes me cherish the trivial warmth in life more.

Great book! It's a pity that every story is full of sadness. It makes people heart-wrenching after reading it. They both sympathize with and hate the protagonist of the story. It is not recommended to read when you are emotionally depressed, otherwise you will become more depressed.

I've loved monthly novels since I came across them in high school

It is a story that will be stored in the memory for a long time. Every character is realistic and terrifying, unlike literary works that give a judgment on human nature. I seem to have no way or qualifications to judge any good or bad, right or wrong in the story, and it vividly expresses the good and evil of human nature. The mother's arms only have so much space and cannot hold two people, so she will give one of them a good home so she can take care of the other. This situation will probably occur regardless of whether the family is divorced or not. It seems to be a common rule to take care of the weak and the new. In the end, the marriage turned into strangers. Even after being together for many years, they were not familiar with each other and did not understand each other.

Family, love, friendship, career... After prosperity, they will eventually become dull. When we are young, like Xiangzi, we work hard and make progress, and feel that life will always get better day by day. In fact, life is always solving problems, and we often live in suffering. The difficulties we encounter now, looking back decades later, are actually nothing more than that. We can only cherish the present moment. The ups and downs are all life.

They are the centers of circles, ruling the kingdoms, but they are not the kings, and they never will be.

"Two Pepper Trees" Loving this thing is like a certain smell that we like. When we realize it, we have already consumed it. We cannot live on that memory for a lifetime.

Simple but touching

I felt very sad after reading it. The heroine in the book is the real us in life.

Among the books in 2019, except for "Returning to Hometown at the Age of Forty-Eight", which I didn't read, they are all very good! Like it very much!

He didn't directly tell you what he was going to talk about, but he reminded himself through various events. It ended before I could understand it clearly at first, and then I reflected on it for a while. It's such a good novel. I just hope that when I am in trouble, I can think clearly before making a judgment and don't regret it!

After reading this book, each of the few stories makes people think deeply. It takes a while to slowly understand the emotion.

I read two articles in one go. I really like the author's eloquent narrative style and humorous language expressions. He expresses all kinds of human nature vividly and vividly, making life more desolate and depicting the various aspects of ordinary people's lives.

It's very sharp, but also very realistic. The characters in it, big and small, are all ourselves that we look down on. We need to have a better mentality to face life. Sudden things will happen all the time, and we have to let nature take its course. Don't test human nature, traps happen around those closest to us.

This book starts from a female perspective and uses plain language to describe the various confusions in married life, and the writing is delicate and true. The author is good at using details to depict characters, allowing readers to feel the emotions of the characters in the book. At the same time, she has a profound insight into life and can inspire readers to think about life. All in all, this is a work worth reading.

"Thank God for every woman I meet. They are the center of a circle, leading kingdoms, but they are not kings, and they will never be."

This book tells four stories. The last two stories are very sad. Are there really such people in reality? It's true that Liu An can't wait for Hua Ming again and again. How can we persevere in such a hard life? Can people really only rely on themselves?
